Humza Yousaf has apologised to a man left in agony for six years with severe testicular pain. The Health Secretary described the delay in patient Martin Brown’s treatment as “unacceptable”.
The 52-year-old’s condition is now so bad he can barely walk or spend time with his grandchildren. But last night, Labour’s health spokeswoman Jackie Baillie hit out, saying: “Instead of apologising, Humza Yousaf should actually fix the problem.
"After 15 years on the SNP’s watch, it is disgraceful that we have situations like this. This is clearly now beyond urgent and the Cabinet Secretary should ensure this man, and others like him, receives his operation.”
